BaT Auction Success Story: 1979 MG Midget 460 Miles Wisconsin To Michigan A Long Day In A Small Car

Here’s an update on the 1979 MG Midget that was purchased via BaT Auctions on 03/06/17 (link):

“I had a very good experience in purchasing my 1979 MG Midget. On March 29, 2017, I flew to Neenah, WI to pick up my red baby. It was a sunny, but cold day with highs about 30 degrees. The roads were clear, which was good as I drove from Neenah to Manistee, MI through the Upper Peninsula and across the Mackinaw Bridge. The trip was about 460 miles and I turned over 29,000 miles on the way home. The Midget ran great—although the seller said he never tried the heat so I bypassed the heater core and drove with just the sunshine keeping the car warm.

Not much room in a Midget as I was only able to get a couple cases of Spotted Cow Beer, which is only available in Wisconsin, in the car. I was extremely glad to get out of the Midget when I got back to Manistee. That’s a very long one day ride in that small of a vehicle. The first thing I purchased was new Minilites. They look great on it.
